Pintado Sweater by Rita Taylor, download

Oversized and cozy, this slash neck pullover is the perfect match for bouncy, energetic Malabrigo Mecha. It knits up quickly but is laden with thoughtful details, from the buttons at the shoulder to the gently curved, flattering hemline.

This pattern is worked from the top down, with each piece knit flat and then seamed.
